How much do you need for your children to not work or provide complete financial freedom (i.e. can buy a home, raise a family, etc. without thinking about the income of their job)? That is the "generational" in generational wealth

Probably removed because DuckLabs is owned by Amazon now so it’s kind of confusing. Maybe Amazon said, “just take it down, our lawyers will approve some language.”

Very much doubt it’s generational wealth. I’m not sure how much people think open source companies are worth, but the path to VC-scale profitability is incredibly rare. My guess is that Amazon wants official hosted versions and doesn’t want

Ideally our government would regulate this, but our government is an absolute dumpster fire intent on destroying respect for America and gives no care for what’s best for its people. So, you know, we gotta take what we can get

Yes, this would basically obviate Sonnet and Haiku. If you consider them 1 and 2 generations behind, respectively (that's not really what they are), you can still get a ton out of those older chips. Not to mention people still use olde

If you expect a large leap in performance, buying now means that (a) you will want to buy again in a year but (b) the large leap in performance hurts the resale of what you buy today. Local models will be that much better in a year, so unle

Why would a local model for a consumer device need 17k tok/s? Apple is better off building chips with generalizable TPUs (or equivalent) so they can upgrade/patch models.

What’s funny is that there was a bankrupt auto company that was memed back into existence. Hertz, by all logic, was absolutely doomed. Retail traders brought it back from near-certain liquidation and could have made a ton of money. Not su

Fantastic writing, very well done. Every small, incremental decision is believable. You can see how the psychosis evolves. It made me think of Justin.tv, which was Justin Kan streaming himself. There weren’t betting markets, but today there

As a counterpoint (data point of one code base), I had Fable lead development of a complex system recently (an end-to-end insurance claims billing system) as a test project. It blew me away. Opus could not have done the same, given the feed

Yes. I use Opus for tasks that Sonnet could probably handle, but I'm not hitting my quota. Whatever minor incremental gain is "worth it", since marginal cost is zero. Even now, I use Fable as the planner and coordinator, with
